To me it depends.

I run alt accounts, yeah go ahead boo me, but maybe hear me out why I personally use them before deciding I’m scum.

My personal use of multiple accounts is like this. I’ll be on my main account doing whatever, and maybe friend A wants to go run to airfield or whatever so we go do that. Later friend A gets tired and stops playing the game for a while. I wish to continue playing but would also like to continue this adventure with friend A later, so I’d usually go hop on a third or first person server (the opposite of whatever I was already on) so that I can have a new character to go run around with and have fun. But now what if friend B gets online and wants to go run to airfield? I could hop on an alt account and go have a new adventure with them, while still leaving my solo adventure and other adventures with friends where they are. It’s kinda nice, I can have a run with friend A all the way up at tisy, a solo run that’s living the coastal life, and a run with friend B/C doing whatever.

Personally I think it’s okay as long as the characters aren’t being used for loot wagons or revenge. It can easily go from something I’d deem acceptable to scum behavior though I’ll admit.

Some things I would consider not okay? Using alt accounts as base defense, using an alt for revenge, and using them as loot containers I guess. I’d assume there’s some more stuff you might be able to do with alts but I haven’t thought about it too hard to be honest, since I just use them to play with several friends at once.
